Chicken Soup Recipe
Chicken soup the proverbial cure all for everything from colds, flu to feeling out of sorts. I love this easy home chicken soup recipe because it is easy, fast, delicious and nutritious. Change it up as you wish with different veggies and seasonings, just remember that you do need the chicken. If there happens to be any leftovers, they go immediately in the freezer for another meal. You can add almost any vegetables to the soup that you have in the fridge. Though there is nothing original in the food world I kind of made up this recipe as I went along by adding different spices to see what flavors would emerge. Whenever I tell my husband I am going to make this rather hodgepodge soup he cannot wait to eat it.
Lots of Greens in the soup

Thanks so much for voting, pinning and liking. Kale is so healthy with calcium, magnesium and other vitamins..but it has to be cooked well or it is tough and bitter. I buy it often...Hope you enjoy.
this recipe sounds amazing! this will be my new fall comfort food!

This looks really good. I bet this would work really well in the crockpot as well, and I really like the idea of putting servings in the freezer for later meals. It's nearing Fall and Winter now -- time for these hearty stews and casseroles! Thanks for sharing. Voted up, interesting, useful.

What a great looking recipe. I have never used tomatoes in my chicken soup before either but I am certainly going to give it a try. Thanks for the tips and the great future meal plan.
Oh what a delicious introduction, Carol... So healthy yet tasty sounding and this is perfect soup season.
Thank you for sharing. Voted UP and UABI. Hugs, Maria
I haven't tried putting kale in chicken soup, I'm going to give it a try. This chicken soup recipe seems easy to make; most of the people I know call kale -- "greens." (smile)

Kale is part of the greens..However there are others like swiss chard, turnip greens and plain old spinach. Thanks for dropping in for some soup. Hope you like it....
This is one hell of a healthy soup. Would be really interesting to taste it. Voted up and shared.
Adding vinegar and kale is new to me. Sounds even healthier! Can't wait to try it! Voted up & useful. --Jill
Hi Carol... after reading this I think soup is on the menu for tonight... For me it is one of those clean out the fridge soups, you know where everything is game for the pot. Maybe a little unethical but I will tell you a soup that will stick to your ribs... I do need to try this one though...

Chicken soup is something my hubby really loves when the weather is cold. I got some new inspiration to add to my usual chicken soup recipe from you, Carol. Thanks. I never thought to add ginger or curry powder. I do put a dash of red pepper and Worchestershire sauce in mine. We had a big bowl of chicken soup tonight. Hearty and filling.
Wow. I love Chicken Soup and here is sometime new to do with. Thanks for sharing. Will surely try this.
Needed to make a different flavored chicken soup today. This is a perfect change. Thanks.
